HDMI to Scart .. is it possible?

I'm considering upgrading my TV and HD recorder soon, but not all at once. I shall probably replace the HD recorder first and then eventually the TV.

These days all recorders seem to have an HDMI socket, but no Scart. My CRT TV only has Scart connections.

Is there such a thing as an HDMI>Scart adaptor? I appreciate that the final picture/sound quality will be governed by the lowest tech link in the chain, but I'm hoping that it might suffice until I buy a new TV.

Yes, there are lots, cables converters etc. You're near to Maplin so pop round and have a look!

Actually, I think the answer is no.
HDMI was designed as a secure connection for both audio and video to prevent pirating of movie sound tracks or ripping of content. Having an adaptor from a supposedly secure system to an insecure one rather defeats the point of HDMI. That said, if you do find anything I would be interested to hear about it.
